Last Sunday, one of the best series on the planet started it's second season.

The Walking Dead is back!!!

The first episode picks up where last season ended. The group has moved on after the CDC blew up. They get stranded in the middle of the highway on their way to their next stop. A pile of about a thousand vehicles stops them from moving forward and a herd of the hungry undead prevents them from going anywhere.

The show has moved away from the comic books, but that's fine. It's become more unpredictable, and more exciting. You don't know what to expect anymore.

I'm now worried for Sophia. I don't know what will happen to Shane (I'm waiting for him to finally die... he did in the comics). I hope they'll flesh out T-Dog and Daryl more (they're the new characters). Where's Tyreese and his family?! How long will they be staying in Herschel's farm? I don't know the answers to these questions. I like it.

The great thing about this series is that even if they did deviate from the original story, they still find a way to come back to where they should be in the comics.

The first episode like the rest of the series was brilliant. The first half of the episode was heart attack inducing. It was suspenseful. It was gory. It was scary as hell. The show's back in it's form. Just the way I like it.

I believe Fox International will be showing the series here starting this weekend.
